AAV7

AAV7 (Adeno-Associated Virus 7) is a type of virus used in gene therapy to deliver genetic material into human cells. Unlike harmful viruses, AAV7 is engineered to be safe and non-disease-causing. Scientists use it as a delivery vehicle because it can efficiently introduce specific genes into cells, potentially treating genetic disorders or enabling new therapies. AAV7 is valued for its ability to target particular tissues, its low immune response, and its capacity to provide long-lasting gene expression, making it a promising tool in modern medicine.
